INTERNATIONAL ROCKETRY WEEK, IRW2003 (LARGS, SCOTLAND)
Time was upon us again for another IRW. Our first IRW was back in 1995. This year we would have a few new rockets to fly. The upscale Estes Commanche 3 may even have been the first 3 stage composite rocket to fly in the UK? (if it had worked!). Images below are a small collection of the event. This would be the last year for the Rover Vitesse. Weather was not too bad this year too.
David and the Haribo rocket on 3 x D12-3's....sadly the rocket spacked!
David and his Firebolt before it's last flight on a I300T. Dad forgot to load the BP...........Doh.................
Me and Sean getting ready to fly. Sean on a Hypertek J (only part filled on the pad so lack of altitude)
Below is me with the camera rocket on a kick but J570 (love that motor or what!!)
Pad cam view of my old camera rocket that flew fantastic on the J570. That motor still has to be my favourite!
The upscale Estes Commanche 3 on a H to G to F. Dame.......only the H worked..........
Above is my IRIS that flew on a 54mm J (this rocket has had loads of flights now).
